Stepping out OF the house the reporter
found eight or ten Of the neighbors dis
cussing the details. Joseph Brand,
Charles ElsesseH, Henry Holman, John
TombOw and Jefferson Miller, the first
to arrive and the brave y0ps who saw
Doll depart over the hill, but were TOO
badly scared to follow him and bring
him back, were among the number.
The story obtained from those most In
timately acquainted with the Dolls, and
from Mrs Psushen, the old lady who
m lde her home with the Dolls and whose
son Is married to Mrs. Dolls daughter,

New York Tribune.
She was the daughter OF one of the
congressman who had assited in drafting
the Interstate commerce bill, and having
made a copy of it for him had become
tolerably familiar with its provisions. So
it was only natural, perhaps, that when
g notorious firt proposed 10 her the other
evening she should utilize the bill in re-
fusing him.
"No, George" she remarked in decided
tones when he had risen from his knees,
sit can never be. / would not dare in
trust my happiness to a man who would
be certain to indulge himself in many
like and contemperaneous attachments.n
George protested that if she would
consent to become his he would never
look at another girl again. But it was no
use.
'You cannot alter my determination,
George. Nothing would induce me to
plight my troth so long as I remained
skeptical in regard to my lovers con-
stancy to his promise to take me for bet
ter for worse, for richer for poorer, for
short haul for long haul"
George fumed, bit his lip, and avowed
that she was cruel.
IT am not cruel, George. [ ana only
frank You provoke just such skepti-
cism and I am of peculiarly exacting
disposition. I would demand of my hus-
band complete surrender of his heart
to me, and in time you would resent that
demand as awarding me undue and un-
reasonable preference; you would uptraid
me for expecting you to exercise unjust
discrimination against other and compel
ing young ladies of your acquaintance.
So you see, George"
But George had vanished into the outer
darkness.
